FLEET

Overview

There are days when the Brisbane art scene needs to count its blessings for having Metro Arts under its banner. They consistently bring home some of Australia’s best names in art, and their latest exhibition is true testament to their pulling power. FLEET brings to Brisbane Sydney-based can-do-no-wrong visual arts collective OK YEAH COOL GREAT, who have curated pieces from 12 interstate contemporary artists working in collaborative duos.

Duos Darren Seltmann and Vicky Browne, Kylie Banyard and Ron Adams, SuperKaleidoscope (Kim Fasher and Sarah Mosca), Charles Dennington and Tully Arnot, Todd Robinson and Mark Titmarsh, and Monika Behrens and Rochelle Haley present a mix of experience, talents and times in Metro Arts' FLEET. The pieces mirror their collaborations — there’s distortion, collision and the exploration of alternative representation through various mediums. Sculpture meets painting, video meets performance, and two becomes one in this collaborative exhibition.

FLEET opens Wednesday, October 22, at 6pm, with the opportunity to hear from the artists at the opening event. OKAY YEAH COOL GREAT will perform on Friday, November 7, as part of Friday Night: November at Metro Arts.
